Chapter 55: The Impeachment of the Four Members
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Yuan Shijiao said loudly and saluted, and the whole set of actions was like a peer, which made people unable to ignore it at a glance, and involuntarily attached importance to this person.
Yuan Shijiao then spoke: "Return, Your Majesty!" Weichen wants to impeach Liu Yijing, the cabinet minister, Li Ruhua, the secretary of the household department, Sun Shenxing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Zhang Wenda, the imperial history of the left capital! ”
Yuan Shijiao's words not only made Li Jiancheng stunned, but the Manchu Dynasty civil and military were also stunned, especially the Donglin Party was even more upright, although he had long expected that someone would be in turmoil, but he didn't expect the other party to be so ruthless, and almost wiped out the Donglin Party, and sued a cabinet minister and three ministerial-level dignitaries at once. In modern times, this is one country's deputy prime minister and three ruling councilors.
Li Jiancheng was also surprised by this, although he knew that the party struggle in the Ming Dynasty was serious, he didn't expect that they would repel each other so strongly, and it was almost to the point of not sparing his strength!
"Ahem!" Li Jiancheng coughed lightly, and the sound of the discussion below stopped, Li Jiancheng looked at Yuan Shijiao and said: "Yuan Aiqing, you sued a cabinet minister and three Shangshu officials at one time, they are all important members of the imperial court, if you can't say it this time, it turns out, I won't spare you!" ”
Li Jiancheng's attitude was very serious, but Yuan Shijiao was not afraid at all, on the contrary, he was very excited, afraid that the emperor would not deal with it seriously, at this time the emperor said that he would not spare him, and in turn, he would not spare the person he complained. Yuan Shijiao replied: "Your Majesty, the ministers have accurate and actual testimony, and the ministers guarantee their lives, and they will never be wronged!" ”
Li Jiancheng saw that Yuan Shijiao still had a tough attitude, and knew that this matter would not be good, just because he also wanted to see these courtiers fighting each other, last time they 'beat in groups' but almost forced him to run away, this time it was his turn to watch the battle, he wanted to take a good look, what did these guys say, Li Jiancheng said: "Very good, although Yuan Aiqing said it bluntly, I will make a fair judgment!" ”
As soon as Li Jiancheng's words came out, Liu Yijing and others on the side all turned pale, especially Zhang Wenda, who was already pale. In addition, Yang Lingzuo Guangdou, who is also in the same party as them, has complicated expressions, and of course there are people who have nothing to do with themselves, such as Fang Congzhe, the head of the cabinet.
Yuan Shijiao got Li Jiancheng's reply, and he continued: "Weichen first said that Liu Yijing, the cabinet minister, Li Ruhua, the secretary of the household department, and Sun Shenxing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, are the three people. These three are all members of the same class, and they are not only high-ranking and powerful, but also the most important one, especially the cabinet minister Lord Liu, as a cabinet minister, he is the son of heaven and a close minister, and it is his duty to share worries for the king. However, these three people did not do their duty as ministers, did not worry about the king's share, but used the trivial matter of a city scene brawl to make waves, expanded with a small amount, and even instigated hundreds of officials to force the palace in the end, which is an unprecedented absurdity. The last is the imperial history of the Lord Zhang Wenda, as the imperial history of the official, the senator is not a subservient is the duty, but this person not only does not enter the duty but creates a frame for loyalty out of nothing, such a person is benevolent and righteous, and he is simply a son of man! His Majesty's Weichen requested that these four people be dismissed and investigated! ”
Yuan Shijiao's words are scorching, and the things he said are also true, and the matter of the migrant worker beating the scholar is indeed dealt with with in the city scene brawl, and both sides have given punishments, which has also been recognized by the people of the world, Liu Yijing and others have suffered a big loss in this matter, and at this time it is equivalent to yellow mud falling into the crotch of the pants is not but. In the end, they did force the palace for such a trivial matter.
Yuan Shijiao made an attack, and naturally some people refuted it, and Gu Dazhang, a member of the first rite department of the Donglin Party, first stood up and said: "Lord Yuan's words are too much, and the four adults are actually just instigated by everyone. As far as Lord Zhang is concerned, at that time, everyone said that Ling Xue was suspicious of deceiving His Majesty, and it was difficult for everyone to distinguish what Master Zhang said, how could it be said that Lord Zhang made something out of nothing! ”
"Humph!" Someone snorted coldly, this person is Wu Liangsi, the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, he is the leader of the Chu Party, this person has a cold and arrogant temperament, but he opened his mouth and said: "Take care of your lord, what do you mean, as long as you listen to the rumors, you can frame Zhongliang?" Didn't that Lord Zhang take a Shang Fang sword, and he can cut whoever he wants? Anyway, as long as you say that you have listened to the rumors, you will be fine. Then Lord Gu should be careful, Wu will release rumors in front of Lord Zhang's mansion when he turns around, and I will be embarrassed if Lord Zhang goes crazy and cuts you and me! ”
This Wu Liangsi's words really made Li Jiancheng fall through his glasses, are you sure this is a Ming Dynasty official and not a ruffian? This time, Li Jiancheng opened his eyes again, and the strange officials of the Ming Dynasty let him see something different. Sure enough, there are talents from all generations, and they have been leading the way for hundreds of years.
Wu Liangsi's words were so angry that Gu Dazhang was speechless, and the Donglin Party could only change generals, and they had another person, this time it was Hui Shiyang, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple. He stood up and said: "Lord Wu, don't talk nonsense, the four adults themselves are also kind, they are the first to come out for the world's scholars, what is wrong with this?" ”
At this time, Yuan Shijiao spoke again: "Your Majesty is a minister, and the most hateful thing about this incident is that these four people all came to force the palace as scholars, and they themselves are obviously important ministers of the court!" In this capacity, they thought that they were for the sake of righteousness, but in fact, if it were not for His Majesty's efforts, these four people would have shaken the foundation of the country. Hmph, on behalf of the people of the world? What do you think of Your Majesty? Obviously it's just a trivial matter, as a minister, why can't you go to the book and speak, but do that thing to force the palace? I think you're afraid you just have a heart of disobedience! ”
The Yuan Poetry Sect can be said to be full of bloody words, which is simply that they will never stop without putting them to death. Based on what he said just now, a more grumpy emperor might have pulled these four people out of the gang and cut them down. In fact, it is true, once they succeed in resisting the coffin corpse this time, Li Jiancheng will definitely lose the hearts of the people in the world, the peasants will not believe him, and the scholars will not support him. An emperor has no popular support, which is very fatal for the whole world, at this time, as long as the country has some disasters, it is bound to be used by some people with intentions, and there will be countless followers on the grounds that the emperor is immoral! Within a few years, the Central Plains was in flames, and there were too many dynasties in ancient times where the emperor lost his morality and perished.
So as the emperor, Li Jiancheng had a good reason to cut them down, but how could Li Jiancheng do such a thing? This is not in line with his philosophy, and the thing is indeed because of himself, and the so-called self-made death is immortal. But fortunately, this time he turned the tide, and he won anyway.
Yuan Shijiao's words escalated the whole incident to the top, and it did poke at their sore spot, several members of the Donglin Party knelt down at the same time, and Han Kuang bore the brunt of it: "Your Majesty, Lord Liu and others are all loyal and direct ministers, although they are not doing it right, but they definitely have no heart to be disobedient, please see it clearly!" ”
Yuan Shijiao's words are too ruthless, and he is as smooth as Han Kuang, and he is really afraid that Li Jiancheng will kill all these people in anger, so he pleaded loudly, Han Kuang knelt down, and almost all of the Donglin Party knelt down and pleaded!
Li Jiancheng looked at these people kneeling, he squinted his eyes, this is also a special feature of ancient politics, we can plead generously in public for anything! Looking at modern times, if a government official makes a mistake, who dares to intercede in public? This must not be scolded to death, so it can only go underground. From this point of view, in terms of style, are we progressing or regressing?
Of course, it doesn't matter, in the face of this stalemate scene When Li Jiancheng turned his gaze to Fang Congzhe, he suddenly remembered Guangzong's handling method at that time, which also reminded him of a popular Internet phrase, Li Jiancheng smiled and said: "Fang Shoufu, what do you think?" ”
Fang Congzhe was stunned, he really didn't expect Li Jiancheng to ask him at this time! This surprised him very much, how could the emperor still think of him as the first assistant! Fang Congzhe looked at the emperor a little weirdly, but Li Jiancheng looked at him with a smile. The confrontation with Li Jiancheng seemed to make Fang Congzhe see through Li Jincheng's bad taste, Fang Congzhe had no choice but to calculate the gains and losses again, although it was very good to deal with these important members of the Donglin Party at one time, but once he did this, it would undoubtedly chill the hearts of the people of the world, which was very unfavorable to the prestige he had just accumulated, and looking at the emperor's appearance, it didn't seem to be the emperor's expectations. Fang Congzhe involuntarily began to guess what Li Jiancheng meant, although he was still young, but the momentum he showed was really not to be underestimated, so Fang Congzhe also looked at Li Jiancheng very seriously.
After thinking for a while, Fang Congzhe decided to take the old path, and he spoke: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that what Lord Han said is reasonable, Weichen and these four adults have worked together for many years, and their conduct Weichen understands it. Especially Lord Liu, Weichen dares to guarantee with his life that he has no disobedience to him, but the students of Siyou World are indeed the heart of Lord Liu. Therefore, the minister is willing to ask the emperor to read it, and for the sake of their kindness, they will be lightly dismissed. ”
Sure enough, this guy's answer is still the same as at the beginning, his words are like protecting these four people, and letting Li Jiancheng 'get off lightly', which is to admit that he will punish them, and finally give the right to speak to Li Jiancheng, this balance is played in all aspects, it can be said that everyone has been taken into account by him, and the whole thing has become much more detouring in where he goes.
Li Jiancheng squinted his eyes and was silent for a while, and said: "All Aiqing have died first, it is impossible for me not to punish this matter, as an important member of the imperial court, such a reckless action is indeed a bad impact." That's why I decided to ......"
Speaking of this, Li Jiancheng paused, and the breathing of the entire court was also slack, Li Jiancheng continued: "Zhang Wenda, the imperial history of the left capital, is directly separated from his post!" The other three were all fined for three months and demoted by one level. However, if you are demoted and retained, the ministries are still under their supervision, until they are corrected when they make a big contribution, and if they still can't do it, they will be demoted and selected! ”
